// Simple periodic table of the elements
//
// This allows you to access the properties of an element by referring it to
// it as "Element.Hydrogen" or "Element.H" or "Element.Silicon" or
// "Element.Si"
//
// (Hint: for less typing in a program, you can say "e=Element" and then
// type e.H or e.Si. Note that only works in the current scope and will
// not work across function calls.)
//
// Each element has the following properties:
// symbol
// name
// number
// atomicMass
//
// The individual properties of an element can be looked up as, say:
// Element.Hydrogen.atomicMass
//
// This class also has methods to enumerate through all elements (e.g.
// Element.listByName[], Element.listBySymbol[], Element.listByNumber[])
//
// The methods Element.getByName[str] and Element.getByNumber[num] allow
// you to look up elements by name, symbol, or atomic number.
//
// NOTE: Because this uses the method array.shallowCopy[], this requires
// a version of Frink dated 2006-09-25 or later!
//
// Thanks to "overgauss" for research and contributions.
//
// This should probably be updated with
// Standard atomic weights of the elements 2021 (IUPAC Technical Report)
// https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/pac-2019-0603/html
//
// however, that does not give the masses in any SI units! It only gives the
// masses in terms of Carbon-12. To get the actual massses, it appears you
// need to find the answer in:
//
// The AME 2020 atomic mass evaluation (I). Evaluation of input data, and adjustment procedures
// https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1674-1137/abddb0
//
// which appears to match Frink's 2018 CODATA value for u (atomicmassunit):
// 1.66053906660e-27 kg
//
// and
//
// The AME 2020 atomic mass evaluation (II). Tables, graphs and references*
